This is a game that is certain to be in the Top 10 Longest Intros Ever. You’re, um, a guy, and you walk around and fight these mechs? Kinda weird. Not the kind of typical random encounters you’re used to fighting. The whole “collection” aspect of the game is emphasized it seems, as there’s a Zoid Database where you can see what Zoids you’ve Seen and which you Have. Kinda scary.

Not much here is done, just most of the main menu and some of the combat menus. And, a couple of poorly translated lines of dialogue. There’s really no website or readme to speak of, so who knows how much further this translation will be going.

Despite this being a new version, and despite the IPS file being 4k bigger than the previous one, I see absolutely no difference between the two. Everything in the opening and field menu (EVERYTHING) that wasn’t translated before hasn’t really changed, at all. I can only assume that there’s some more menu or combat-related fixes later on in the game, but I’m not going to wait around and find out.
